The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 517

Recalling the heyday of Kaiyuan, Xiaoyi still hides thousands of families.

The rice is fat-liquid and the corn is white, and the public and private warehouses are rich and fruitful.

There are no jackals and tigers on the roads of Kyushu, and the sunrise will not be auspicious when traveling far.

Qiwan, Luxuan, and the trains are in frequent shifts, and men and women who farm and mulberry do not lose each other.

The sages in the palace played Cloud Gate, and friends all over the world were glued to each other.

——Excerpt from "Recalling the Past" by Du Fu

……

On September 24, the Guangzhou Report said: "Dashi and the Persian coalition forces surrounded the city. Governor Waley saw the city and fled. The coalition forces looted warehouses, burned houses, and sailed across the sea by boat."

Seeing this report, Bai Fu hurriedly sent the news to the Persian general Alberts to let him know the details.

……

In winter, on October [-]th, Emperor Suzong canonized Chengwang Li Chu as crown prince and changed his name to Li Yu.On May [-]th of this year, Emperor Suzong had already appointed Li Chu as the crown prince. For some reason, he mentioned it again here.

The courtiers couldn't figure it out, only Princess Qingluan, Bai Fu and others knew the reason for Suzong's change of heart.

Following this, Suzong suddenly began to reward the officials, according to the ranks of civil and military officials and imperial guards.

Since recovering the two capitals, Suzong has never rewarded his ministers.

The court's explanation to the outside world was that after the issuance of the newly minted Qianyuan Chongbao, the court had money and silk in its hands.

……

The crown prince's position is stable, and Prince Li Chu is finally relieved.It is inconvenient for Li Chu to come forward, so she asked Princess Qingluan to express her gratitude to Bai Fu on her behalf.

Seeing that the conflict between brother Huang and Bai Fu eased, Princess Qingluan was overjoyed.This day at Sunrise Palace, Bai Fu is specially invited for a banquet.

Since it is a free banquet, you cannot eat and drink in the Bashu Guild Hall, otherwise it will become free eating and drinking again.

Princess Qingluan persisted and finally called Bai Fu out of the Bashu Guild Hall.

Bai Fuxin said: "Alright, since I went to Zhongnan Mountain for military training, I haven't visited Chang'an City for a long time."

The two of them took their attendants to the famous wine shop "Banxianlou" in Pingkangfang.It is famous for Li Taibai.Every time Li Bai gets drunk in the "Ban Xian Lou", there are masterpieces that come out and become famous all over the world.The owner of the restaurant simply changed the name of the restaurant to "Xianxian Tower".

Today's weather is relatively cold, with lead clouds pressing down on the top, and the north wind howling.Princess Qingluan was afraid of the cold, so she wrapped herself in a thick fur and hid in the carriage.

Bai Fu rode beside him on horseback, walking slowly.

It was freezing cold, and there were few pedestrians on the street.A broken ox cart creaked and creaked on the street. Seeing the princess's car, the driver hurriedly drove the ox cart aside and stopped, shivering, and gave way to Luan's car.

When the ox cart passed by, Bai Fu looked sideways, the driver's face was covered with dust, his temples were gray, and his fingers were dark.The ox cart is loaded with a cart full of charcoal.

"It turned out to be a charcoal seller." Bai Fuxin said: "He came out to make a living in such a cold day, probably because he wanted to take advantage of the cold weather and sell it for a good price."

The carriage soon arrived at the "Banxian Tower".On the street at the entrance of the restaurant, dozens of women and children squatted under the wall of the square, wearing single clothes, with straw signs on their heads.

Princess Qingluan asked curiously: "It's such a cold day, they are not staying at home, what are they doing here? Is it for begging?"

Bai Fu sighed: "They are all children from poor families. I guess the family can't get rid of the pot. Coming here is not just to beg for food, but also to sell children and daughters."

Princess Qingluan was shocked, and said: "It's not easy to conceive in October, why sell it? Don't you feel distressed when you are a parent?"

Bai Fu said dejectedly: "How can you not feel distressed?! If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't survive, who would sell his own flesh and blood?
Conversely speaking, if the child is sold, the child can still have something to eat and maybe survive.If you follow your biological parents, you may not be able to survive this winter. "

Princess Qingluan burst into tears when she heard the words.She wanted to take all the money on Bai Fu's body, regardless of the severe cold, got out of the carriage, walked to the side of the square wall, and distributed the money in her hands to these poor women and children in turn.

Everyone fell to their knees and kowtowed incessantly, thanking the Bodhisattva for coming down to earth.

Princess Qingluan burst into tears and said in tears: "It's too cold, everyone go back quickly, eat warm food and warm your body."

……

"The Immortal Tower" is full of guests, many relatives of the emperor and children of aristocratic families have a big banquet here, and the sound of playing with fists and silk and bamboo can be heard endlessly.Compared with the cold wind blowing outside the building, the hustle and bustle here is like a dream.

From time to time, disheveled divas rush out of the room with their musical instruments in their hands, followed by the drunken young master staggeringly behind.

Not to mention Princess Qingluan, even Bai Fu couldn't stand it.In the past, these dandies would only be so presumptuous in the brothel songfang, but now even the restaurants are not clean.

After a life-and-death turmoil, not many people cherish the hard-won peace time.

Not only did the playboys not restrain themselves, but they became even more unscrupulous, drunk and dreamy.Even the children of the aristocratic families who used to be lit at three o'clock and five o'clock in the past also threw away the books of sages and sages, lingering around, enjoying life and squandering their youth with the attitude of being drunk today.

The world is declining, people's hearts are not old...

A thought popped into Bai Fu's mind: "The war is about to break out, and I and Ba Shuerlang are working so hard to protect these people?"

……

When they boarded the private room of the restaurant, faced with a full house of delicacies, neither of them could swallow it.

Princess Qingluan sighed, and said to the maid: "Let the guys remove all these meals and distribute them to those poor children at the door."

Princess Qingluan smiled apologetically at Bai Fu, and said: "Brother Fu, I wanted to treat you to a good meal, but it seems that it will be next time."

Bai Fu felt the same, and smiled a little.

Princess Qingluan sighed: "Thinking back when the rice flowed and fat was stored by thousands of families, the public and private warehouses were full of fruit, every household in Chang'an did not close their doors at night, and did not pick up things on the road. Up to now, the common people have no food to eat and no clothes to cover their bodies. This is the policy of our Li Tang royal family. Shame."

Bai Fu comforted: "Let him pass on the past. What we have to do now is to end the war as soon as possible, let the people return to their homes, and resume farming."

Bai Fu smiled warmly, Princess Qingluan's eyes were full of gratitude, she raised the wine cup and said, "Brother Fu, thank you. Thank you for saving my master, thank you for making my father and brother reconcile as before...

There is so much to be thankful for!Qingluan does it first and respects it! "

……

The two were chatting when they heard a commotion downstairs.

Pushing open the window and looking out, I saw an emissary in yellow clothes and several white shirts walking majestically through Fang Street. They were the eunuchs and servants in the palace.

The charcoal seller I met just now saw the guards and was about to make a detour to avoid them. Unexpectedly, the guards were sharp-eyed and took two steps at a time to stop the charcoal cart.

Seeing a cart full of good charcoal, the headed eunuch's eyes lit up and he waved his hand.The guards rushed forward, hung half a horse of red silk and a zhang of silk on the bull's head, and used it as money for charcoal, and yelled at the bullock cart to pull it towards the palace.

A cart of charcoal weighed more than 1000 kilograms. The old charcoal seller was reluctant to give up, but he had no choice but to drive the ox cart while wiping his tears.

Princess Qingluan was furious, and said: "These slaves from the Internal Servant's Mansion dare to plunder openly, I can't do them illegally!"

After all, he rushed downstairs to intervene by force.

Bai Fu stopped in front of the princess, shook his head and said: "Since you are the eunuch of the House of Internal Servants, you are relying on Li Fuguo, the head of the House of Internal Servants. You have a special status, so don't provoke them easily."

Princess Qingluan was filled with indignation, and said: "I am a majestic Princess of the Tang Dynasty, am I afraid that these eunuchs will fail?"

Bai Fu said: "This person is sinister and vicious, and he will take revenge. Even Mr. Li Mi retreats three feet away. Your brother's position as the crown prince is almost lost. Don't make strong enemies at this time.

Once Li Fuguo and Queen Zhang join forces, you and the prince are no match.You must not repeat the mistakes of your elder brother Jianning Wang Li Tan. "

Speaking of Jianning King Li Tan, Princess Qingluan didn't say a word.The majestic princes all died in Xiaoxiao's verbal swords, how could he guarantee that he could win against the empress empress and the number one eunuch celebrity.

Bai Fu comforted: "Don't be sad either. Wait for a while, I'll go downstairs to make arrangements. When the old man delivers the charcoal to the palace gate, I'll ask someone to pay the old man for the charcoal. Don't worry, there will only be more, not less. .”

Bai Fu smiled brightly, like a ray of sunshine dispelling the cold winter.

　　Unexpectedly, a piece of silk is worth tens of thousands of dollars, and there are fields and valleys that are bleeding now.

　　The Luoyang palace was burned to the ground, and the ancestral temple was newly removed from the fox and rabbit hole.

　　Sad and can't bear to ask the old man, he said that he would be free from chaos in the beginning.

　　The little minister is dull and incompetent, and the imperial court remembers Meng Luzhi.

　　Zhou Xuanzhong hoped for my emperor, and shed tears Jiang Han became ill.
